Benjamin Preston

Secessionists and Ron Paul supporters haven't been the only petitioners busy on the White House's "We The People" webpage this week. Someone filed a petition yesterday to establish a fleet of Vice Presidential Trans-Ams, to be customized and used to kick off the official beginning of summer.

There's a small chance that The Onion's made-up Joe Biden persona could actually become a sort-of real thing. If the petition gets another 24,900 signatures, we could see each summer kicking off with a beer-drinking, shirtless VP lovingly scrubbing his Trans Am in the White House driveway.
